The citation as it was given

Entry 2247: 'Magdalena Elizabeth, Geb. 9 Oct 1899, Ged. 25 Dec 1899, v. Michiel Josias Botes, m. Maria Johanna geb. Oosthuizen, get. Gabriel Petrus le Roux, Hendrica Helena van der Westhuizen.' PLACE ERROR IN THE INDEX: FamilySearch gives the event place as 'Wynberg, TRANSVAAL' for a Cape Town Archives register - the namesake substitution of 5, and a cheap correction to make upstream.

Kept verbatim. This project contradicts published genealogies and corrects a family's own oral tradition, so every claim has to be checkable by someone who was not in the room.

Nothing in the model cites this source yet.
